Inside a magnet, there are tiny particles called atoms that have their own magnetic fields. These atoms align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field that gives the magnet its magnetic properties.

How you can demagnetize materials?

A magnet has magnetic properties because the dipoles of the atoms are lined up in a single direction. To demagnetize it, you must scramble the dipoles out of alignment. First, heat the magnet past the Curie point (the temperature at which it loses its magnetic properties until cooled). Strike it on the ends of the magnet with a hammer. When cooled, it will no longer be magnetized.


How are the atoms in a magnet arranged?

The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.


Why magnets have poles?

An object that produces a magnetic field is called a magnet. A magnet have two poles, a south pole and a north pole. The aspect that why magnet have poles has remained unexplained. According to Walker it is a phenomena of the universe and nothing else.


Is plutonium magnetic?

Yes, plutonium is magnetic. It has an unpaired electron in its outer electron shell, which gives it magnetic properties.


How does a magnet exerts force?

Well its all about arrangement of electrons inside the metal. This arrangement gives rise to a force field(not a shield used by the invisible woman in the fantastic four) which has the property of attracting small pieces of iron fillings. Or it may produce electricity when it is displaced around a conductor. How the field arises is the same as how electric force arises.

Why monazite is magnetic?

Monazite contains elements such as cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium which have magnetic properties. These elements have unpaired electrons in their orbitals, allowing them to exhibit magnetic behavior when they align their magnetic moments. This gives monazite its magnetic properties.

What is the procedure to draw magnetic field lines?

If it is a small magnet, like one that you can hold in your hand, place the magnet on a flat surface, put a white sheet of paper over it, take iron shavings or shavings from a magnetic metal, and sprinkle them on the paper. Gently shake the paper if you have to. You should start to see lines from where the magnetic fields attracted the metal.

Yes, plutonium is magnetic. It has an unpaired electron in its outer electron shell, which gives it magnetic properties.


Why does a magnet loses its magnetism when it is strongly heated or hammered?

A magnet is an alignment of particles in a solid. You can imagine a magnet as a bunch of tiny magnets that are all pointing in the same direction. When they point in the same direction, the little parts add up, and the magnet works like you'd expect. When you heat or hammer a magnet, the little magnetic parts can get jostled and unaligned. When that alignment is disturbed, they no longer point in the same direction and may even cancel other magnetic parts out, weakening and eventualy destroying the magnetism.

How is magnetism is formed?

There are many ways how magnetism is cause. The main reason is due to the magnetic field of a magnet such as a bar magnet which constantly keeps creating its own magnetic field. And an electromagnet which only creates its magnetic field when it is switched on.


What does atoms have that make an object magnetic?

Atoms have unpaired electrons in their outer energy levels that create a magnetic field when they align in the same direction. This alignment of magnetic moments is what gives rise to the magnetic properties of an object.


What happens when you add more coils to the wire in an electromagnet what else can you do to increase the magnetic field of an electromagnet?

The more loops gives the magnet more voltage. More loops produce more currents. The current that is induced as acts like an opposing magnet and makes it more difficult to move the magnet.
